Hi there,
I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.
We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.
If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.
You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

jabooshi - Sunday, 30 Mar I'm back!! It was a great rip, but a couple days too long I think!! The kids did great though adn we saw a lot of neat things!! How's thing's with you?
jabooshi - Thursday, 20 Mar That is crazy that Josh is teething too! They seem too little. My two oldest are in school; one in 3rd grade and one in 1st. I had parent/teacher conferences last night and they are both doing amazing. My first grader reads 5th grade level books and they are both in the Gifted and Talented program. I don't think that I would have the patience to home school, but my sister lives in Caldwell, Idaho(by Boise) and she says that everyone in her area home teaches their children. School is getting kinda scary. Do you like to read? If you do, I've got an awesome series that I'm reading. The first one is called Twilight and it's by Stephanie Meyer.
jabooshi - Thursday, 20 Mar I'm glad you had a good trip! We are going to Arizona tommorrow!! Yes, I have started feeding Dallas rice cereal just at night. I think he's teething! Is your oldest in school?
jabooshi - Thursday, 13 Mar How was the trip? I hope you had a good one! If your e-mail is working you should e-mail me about it!
jabooshi - Thursday, 28 Feb That's exciting that you get to go to California for a week! Is your husband taking care of the other kids? Man, that will be rejouvenating. I hope the weather is great for you. It has been gloomy and cold here for a long time and it is so depressing. Some sunshine would be nice! I hope you have a great trip and that Josh is good for you!!!
jabooshi - Monday, 25 Feb I'm so glad to hear that everything went well! What a blessing that they didn't find anything. I would definitly try to take advantage of it and rest up as good as you can. I know it is easier said than done. My half marathon is next weekend and I'm really nervous. I ran 12 miles on Saturday and my running partner kicked my butt! I hope I feel good for the race. I signed up to run the Ogden, Utah marathon on May 12th because my mom is running it also and I'm already halfway trained for it. I have to sign up for races or I will quit working out altogether. Well I had a play group of 6 4year olds today and needless to say I have got to pick up my house!
jabooshi - Thursday, 21 Feb Dallas is doing great! I know that lifting gives you the best results ever. I ordered 'The Firm' with wieghts so I'm planning on doing that a few times a week as well as running. I have lost 3 pounds finally! I hope I'm going to keep losing. That is nice that your husband is home. My husband's employees don't work during the winter, but he always stays busy. If he's not doing office work he is off playing(hunting, basketball, skiing, raquetball). He works really hard during the rest of the year though, so I guess he earns it. Well hang in there tommorrow. It will be good to hear about it so I can let my sister know what to expect.
RosieandCory - Wednesday, 20 Feb It is nice to hear from you too. Yeah~ it sucks seeing her sick. now her runny nose turned into a stuffy nose. I do not know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. But she keeps on smiling :) She is such a happy lil girl. Yeah, she tries rolling over, but only gets to her side and is stuck there...it is cute. I love hearing her talk. I am glad your lil guy is doing better!
jabooshi - Wednesday, 20 Feb Yes, the cone thing that you said is what my sister has to have done after she has her baby. I guess it is pretty common. That is great that you are lifting. I think that it gives you the best results. I need to start lifting! Do you have people coming to help you after your surgery?
jabooshi - Tuesday, 19 Feb Dallas is 15 pounds!!!I started feeding him rice cereal a few weeks ago and he has done well with about a tablespoon, but my life has been crazy and I haven't fed it to him lately. My Dr. told me that I could feed him now since he is so huge.My sister has to have her cervix scraped after she has her baby, but I think she has just pre-cancer cells on her cervix. Are they scraping it, or doing something more? Are you nervous about it? I am still nursing and I will probably nurse him till he is 1 year. Well good luck with your surgery. I will keep you in my prayers.
RosieandCory - Tuesday, 19 Feb Hey Katie! How are you? Thank you for the comment on my lil girl. I need to get more pix of her on here. Congrats on your precious lil boy. I really like the picture of his big yawn :) Yep- i am at work, which i hate! I miss being home with her. She is sick now with a little cold. I have her with a vaporizer and have just been sucking her snot out with her little snot sucker from the hospital. She is doing better but it sucks seeing her like that and so little. how are your boys doing?
jabooshi - Sunday, 17 Feb How are you doing? I'm doing pretty good, but I still haven't lost a pound and I am running up to 11 miles now! I will be running my half marathon on March 8th. I can't believe how fast time is flying! Dallas is doing excellent. I'm so excited that he is smiling now! Well I hope your doing good. I've got a bunch of pictures on my facebook page, check it out if you have a chance.
jody - Monday, 21 Jan Hi Katie!!! Well I have to tell you.... Having a baby is truly an amazing experience yet interesting too. Donovan is already 6.5 weeks old and I haven't had a chance to email/surf the net in AGES!! It's crazy how they take up 99.9% of your time! I totally love it but wow.... It's time consuming!! I looked at pictures of your little angel and he is already 13 pounds at 7 weeks!! That is so amazing! That means he is definitely getting lots of food from breast feeding! That's totally great!! I'm so very happy for you! Also you are starting to work out. Where do you find the time? I envy you!! I will be trying to post a latest pic of Donovan but the download feature is not quite working well. Breast feeding is finally goingg well now after some time of pumping etc. because he was having problems latching. All is good now yeah!!! So how are things with sleeping? Are you getting up alot at night? I sure am. He is still trying to find out the difference between night and day but I have to say it's getting a little better. Last week he gave me approx 4 to 6 hours at night to sleep between wake ups.
jabooshi - Sunday, 20 Jan Thank-you so much for the encouragement. My best friend from high school(also named Katie) did the body for life after having her last 2 babys. She was in the top 10 and on their website after the first time she did it. She looked incredible! She swears by it. I have the book and the recipe book, which I use, but I've never been able to stick to it for more than a few days. I admire those that can because I think it's a good one.
jabooshi - Saturday, 19 Jan Those are the custest pictures of Joshua. He is definitly growing! How much does he weigh now? Dallas is 13pds! I just got back from an 8 mile run. It felt good suprisingly. That is the first run that I have felt amazing after since I've had Dallas. I'm so glad it's getting better. I haven't lost a pound though! It's frustrating, but I know it will come off eventually. I feel really gross right now. None of my clothes fit well and I'm sick of my hair! On Wednesday I have a hair appointment and I'm affraid I might do something drastic! I always have to get my hair done after I have a baby because I can change that. I guess I have to feel like I'm in control of something on my body. Well I think it's awesome that you are going to the gym. You need that time to yourself with four kids. Keep it up! Hope you are doing good.
myboysmom - Friday, 18 Jan Hi Katie! The boys love their brother! The younger isnt as hands on as the older, but they both are very protective and proud! They love to show him off!! I love it!!! I want more!! I know I'm crazy!!!
myboysmom - Monday, 14 Jan These lil boys are just growing so fast!!! How are you doin with all the boys??? Hope well!
jody - Tuesday, 8 Jan Hi! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Sorry I didn't get back until now. WOW!!! Having kids takes 99.9% of your time!! I didn't think it was that crazy. It's all worth it. Breast feeding is so much better now. I totally bought that cream too and it works like magic. I am starting to practice pumping into bottles so when I go shopping etc. I can have a bottle ready incase. It's hard because one breast pumps great and the other is hard to. I have milk but it doesn't come out like I want it to. Oh Well. One step at a time. So how are you doing? How is your little angel? I'm sure he is growing so fast! I will be posting more pics in the next couple of days. I'm visiting my moms right now so I don't have them at hand right now... You will have to let me know how you're doing ok? Jody :)
jabooshi - Monday, 7 Jan I'm sorry to hear that you have thrush! I've had that before and it is no fun. If you have to quit nursing at least you got a good couple of months in, that is the most important time. Thrush usually clears up pretty quick with antibiotics though. How have your other kids been doing with the baby? Mine are doing really good surprisingly. My 2nd son who is 7 is really protective of Dallas. If anyone else is holding him he is very conserned that they hold his head right:0) It's crazy that he has only been here 6 weeks and it seems like he should have always been a part of our family. It's amazing how fast everyone adjusts! Well hope you're feeling better!
jabooshi - Thursday, 3 Jan Well, we had an eventful holidays. On Christmas Eve Dallas started vomiting. He kept doing it until I finally took him to the Dr. on Friday. She thought he may have the flu so she told me to give him pedialyte. She said if that didn't work and he kept throwing up through the night that I needed to come in in the morning and they would do an ultrasound. He kept throwing up all night so I took him in the next morning. They did the ultrasound and said that he had pyloric stenosis which is the tightening of the muscle leading out of the stomach. It wasn't allowing the food to exit the stomach so that is why he was throwing up. It required surgery so they sent us to Salt Lake to Primary Children's Medical Center. On Sunday morning he had the surgery. He is doing very good now, but it was really scary!! How were your holiday's?
